Abstract

A power semiconductor device includes a P-type substrate, an N-type well region, a P-type body region, a gate oxide layer, a polysilicon gate, a first oxide layer, a first N+ contact region, a first P+ contact region, drain metal, a first-type doped region, and a gate oxide layer. An end of the P-type body region is flush with or exceeds an end of the polysilicon gate, wherein C gd of the power semiconductor device is reduced and a switching frequency of the power semiconductor device is increased. A polysilicon field plate connected with a source is introduced over a drift region that is not only shield an influence of the polysilicon gate on the drift region, thereby eliminating C gd caused by overlapping of traditional polysilicon gate and drift region, but also enable the power semiconductor device to have strong robustness against an hot carrier effect.
